Gong Ziyu and Yun Weishan looked at each other lovingly, while the three elders sitting above stroked their beards with satisfaction. The future of the palace is promising!

Suddenly, Yun Weishan looked at Gong Shangjiao with a complicated expression, then bowed to the three elders and said, "Elders, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Generally speaking, it's better not to say such things." Gong Langjiao said bluntly.

"Lang Jiao, don't be rude!" Elder Hua had recovered now and no longer covered his chest.

Gong Ziyu gave Yun Weishan a supportive look and said, "Miss Yun, don't be afraid. Just speak up if you have anything to say."

Yun Weishan smiled gratefully at Gong Ziyu, then turned to Gong Shangjiao: "Mr. Gong Er, although I know this is presumptuous, I still want to ask you, why can't you give Shangguan Qian a chance? When Shangguan Qian returned to the female guest courtyard last night, she looked a little embarrassed, and I saw that she was a little hurt. The most important thing is that the jade pendant on her waist is missing, which is something she never leaves. After my repeated questioning, she told me what happened in Zheng Palace..."

Gong Shangjiao's face was filled with impatience. He raised his hand to interrupt Yun Weishan's chattering: "Yun Weishan, what is your relationship with Shangguan Qian?"

"Miss Shangguan and I hit it off from the moment we met, and we've become good friends over the past few days." Yun Weishan said carefully.

Gong Yuanzheng sneered, "We hit it off right away? Good friends? Jin Ting, go to the ladies' courtyard and invite Shangguan Qian over."

Gong Shangjiao not only did not stop him, but also added: "What Miss Yun Weishan said is completely different from what we know. To be on the safe side, let's find the person involved to confront him face to face."

Shangguan Qian had been brainstorming in the ladies' courtyard for a long time.

When Gong Ziyu's green jade guard called Yun Weishan away and did not call any other candidate brides, she knew that her plan had failed.

It was ridiculous that she had secretly laughed at Yun Weishan's recklessness before.

What should she do now? Marry any guard at the palace gate? Be sent back to Dafu City? Or just find an opportunity to climb into Gong Shangjiao's bed?

She naturally preferred the last option, although she knew it was hellishly difficult.

Shangguan Qian was daydreaming when Jin Ting came in and said, "Miss Shangguan Qian, please go to the Elders' Hall."

This... could it be that there is a sudden turn of events?

Shangguan Qian didn't dare to be happy immediately. She could see clearly that the person who came was not Gong Shangjiao's green jade guard at all, but seemed to be someone following Gong Yuanzheng!

Gong Yuanzheng chose her to be his bride?!

Shangguan Qian followed Jin Ting into the Elders' Hall with full of suspicion. She and Yun Weishan exchanged glances... She didn't understand, so whatever.

After Shangguan Qian finished her greetings, Gong Shangjiao slowly spoke: "Just now Miss Yun Weishan asked me for you, asking me to give you a chance. She said you want to be my bride."

Shangguan Qian's eyes brightened a little, but she saw that Gong Shangjiao had not finished speaking, so she knew the situation and kept silent.

"But I think Miss Yun probably misunderstood. Miss Shangguan likes our Master Blade, so she was in a hurry to find the clinic yesterday. Wasn't it because she wanted to ask if there was a solution to her coldness? If you can cure your minor illness, Master Blade will be more likely to choose you, right?"

Shangguan Qian didn’t know what expression to make: “…Ah?” Could it be that Mr. Gong Er was such a good fool?

"In fact, even if Miss Yun didn't say it, I would have mentioned it, mainly because I was really moved by Miss Shangguan's infatuation. Miss Shangguan, you have to think it over. If you can't take this opportunity to express your feelings to Master Zhiren and let him keep you, you will be sent out of the palace soon along with the other unsuccessful brides."

Shangguan Qian's CPU started to spark, and she felt that she understood.

Gong Shangjiao meant that if she wanted to stay in the palace, she could only find a way to persuade Gong Ziyu and stay with him. He would definitely not choose her as his bride anyway.

"What about that jade pendant?" Gong Ziyu hasn't forgotten about it yet.

"Let me tell you about this." Gong Langjiao took a step forward. "Miss Shangguan wanted to go to the clinic yesterday, but she didn't find the clinic and accidentally broke into the Zheng Palace. At first I thought it was some villain and almost killed her with a knife! Fortunately, I stopped in time and the blade only cut the knot of her jade pendant, and the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke. Do you think I am right, Miss Shangguan?"

Shangguan Qian smiled sweetly: "Sir, what you said is absolutely true."

Yun Weishan frowned. She had taken the risk of speaking just to take a gamble. She thought that if she won, Shangguan Qian would be chosen by Gong Shangjiao as her bride, and the two assassins would be able to take care of each other in the palace gate. If she lost, she was just speaking for a lovelorn girl, and it shouldn't bring disaster to herself.

But what's happening now?

Yun Weishan saw Shangguan Qian turn his body towards where she and Gong Ziyu were standing, his eyes moving as he bowed, "Master Zhiren, I have admired you for a long time. That night when you rescued us, the bride candidates, from the dungeon, my heart fell on you.

I originally thought that I must perform well, strive to make Master Zhiren notice me, like me, and choose me as his bride, but my body is not up to the task. The doctor said that I have a spicy and fragrant qi, a cold constitution, and dampness, so in the end I only got a white jade token. It is precisely because of this that I want to go to the clinic to let the doctor help me regulate my body. "

Gong Ziyu's gaze as he looked at Shangguan Qian gradually changed from shock to emotion and pity.

Shangguan Qianxin thought that this man was indeed easy to deceive, and she had to add fuel to the fire.

At this time, Shangguan Qian's eyes were already red, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be about to pour out in the next moment: "It was obviously the first one in the dungeon that night that Master Zhiren rescued me from the dungeon, but later he was completely attracted to another girl." She looked at Yun Weishan with tears in her eyes, "Miss Yun is prettier than me, and she was issued a golden token. I am far inferior to her, and it is only natural for Master Zhiren to choose Miss Yun."

Shangguan Qian's voice began to choke up: "Lord Zhiren and Miss Yun are a perfect match, how dare I get in the way? So I knew that after being sent out of the palace, I would never see Lord Zhiren again, and my father might even force me to marry someone I don't like, but when Miss Yun asked me about it, I still lied, because I didn't want to be the one who destroyed your relationship!"

Shangguan Qian's tears slid down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. Gong Ziyu felt so distressed when he saw this that he couldn't help but take a step towards her.

Yun Weishan was so angry that she was about to explode. Look at what stupid things she had done. She thought she could leave a helper for herself, but she didn't expect that she left a competitor. Wasn't Shangguan Qian's mission target Gong Shangjiao?
